A Wi-Fi access password is a necessary evil for most. It's a safeguard that doesn't allow strangers to connect to our network and steal bandwidth. But every password has an Achilles' heel, no matter how sophisticated, which makes most routers or "routers" vulnerable. But not the Keewifi router, which uses device proximity rather than a code as a form of authentication.
Routers are today an indispensable piece of equipment, although most people do not know much about them and take them for granted. But they do a great job. They're usually pretty complicated creatures, but no Keewifi. You just plug it in UTP cable and it's ready. This router also matters regarding passwords solved by force in an easy way, but nothing like the code 123456 (which is the most popular password in 2014), because it uses innovative approach. To catch the connection, we only have to "get close" to the device.
And when we mean close, we mean physically. It uses Keewifi proximity technology. When the two devices are shoulder to shoulder, it immediately "clicks" between them, as intimacy is triggered authentication process (password plays the same role).

Thanks to the wireless network to the 802.11ac standard enables exceptional transfer speeds regardless of how many devices are sucked into it, which also means that you no longer have to walk around the house like an archaeologist in a newly discovered cave combing every corner in search of a better signal. Currently, Keewifi is still on the platform Kickstarter, and should reach the first customers in July next year.
